Re: Can not get object to print mm to inches problem?
Sure. I just printed one in Pla. Like I said earlier I am very new to this so I do not have much experience with the different plastics. I am going to try one out of ABS to see if the finish is smoother. I have the printer settings set to the calibration cube settings not sure if those are the best ...

Re: Can not get object to print mm to inches problem?
I can now open the file in Netfabb and the units look right (inches). I then go and print and still it thinks it is in mm. I look at the Gcode and it has it set to mm. Here is the modified file if any one would like to try. Thanks to all.

When I dimension the object in sketchup it looks right. I wonder if the scale tool wacks the scaling for the STL file. Maybe sketchup bug? Thanks ...
